New Smoke Stack base


Here is my new smoke stack base. Last year I ran out of time and just used what I could find. Some of you may recognize what this is from. Give up? This is an old computer case that I had laying around. It must be 18 - 16 gauge thick, it was a tougher to cut and bend. I made it in four pieces. the front and back trapezoids and the two sides. Quickly welded them together. The top was figured out by measuring the circumference of the round stove pipe and using that number as the outside edge for the top of the stack base. Not sure if I explained it well. It will look good with a fresh coat of black stove paint on it.
